MPC8245ARVV400D

The MPC8245ARVV400D is a PowerPC 603e-based 32-bit microprocessor integrating a high-performance processor core with system-level peripheral logic. Operating at 400 MHz with 3.3 V I/O, it targets embedded and consumer applications that require a compact, highly integrated processor solution.

On-chip peripheral logic includes a PCI bridge and a memory controller supporting ROM and SDRAM, enabling rapid system designs that leverage PCI peripherals and standard memory subsystems while keeping board-level complexity low.

Key Features

• PowerPC 603e Core  A single 32-bit superscalar processor core with floating-point support, MMU and on-chip instruction and data caches (16 KB each) for deterministic embedded performance.
• 400 MHz Operation  Processor clocked at 400 MHz, suitable for compute tasks in embedded consumer systems.
• Integrated Peripheral Logic  Includes a PCI bridge, DUART, DMA controller, interrupt controller (PIC), message unit with I2O, and timers to simplify system integration.
• Memory Subsystem  High-performance memory controller supporting various ROM types and SDRAM, with ECC controller and address translation facilities described in the hardware specification.
• Standard Interfaces  I2C controller plus multiple serial and parallel interface options in the peripheral logic block to connect sensors and peripherals.
• Package and Mounting  Supplied in a 352-TBGA (35×35) surface-mount package (352-LBGA package case) for high I/O density and compact board footprint.
• Voltage and Temperature  3.3 V I/O operation and a consumer-grade operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Development and Debug Support  On-chip JTAG/COP interface and configuration facilities are provided as part of the integrated processor feature set.

Typical Applications

• Consumer Embedded Systems  Control and application processing in consumer electronic products leveraging the integrated peripherals and SDRAM support.
• PCI-Based Embedded Platforms  Embedded designs that require a built-in PCI bridge to interface with PCI peripherals and expansion cards.
• Networking and Communications Modules  Edge devices and modules that benefit from DMA, interrupt controller, and message/I2O support for data movement and control.

Unique Advantages

• Highly Integrated Peripheral Set:  On-chip PCI bridge, DUART, DMA, interrupt controller and I2C reduce external components and simplify PCB design.
• Balanced Processor Subsystem:  PowerPC 603e core with FPU, MMU and 16 KB instruction/data caches delivers a practical blend of performance and efficiency for embedded workloads.
• Flexible Memory Support:  Memory controller supports ROM and SDRAM types with ECC options, enabling robust system memory choices.
• Compact High-Density Package:  352-TBGA (35×35) surface-mount package provides high pin count in a compact footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Ready for PCI Integration:  Built-in PCI bridge accelerates designs that must incorporate existing PCI peripherals and expansion capabilities.
• Production-Friendly Voltage and Temperature:  3.3 V I/O and consumer operating range (0 °C to 85 °C) align with common embedded product requirements.
